This month’s thematic theme for preschoolers is THANKSGIVING!
Wondering how this works? Use the compiled list below as a starting point for your own homeschooling or use simply as a list of "fun" activities with your little ones. I will post monthly thematic units as the year continues. Next month's theme is CHRISTMAS.
Enjoy! Genevieve
